We decided to renew long standing italian DiClementi family tradition and make some homemade Sangiovese red wine. It's harder than it looks... first you de-stem the grapes and wait two weeks as the grapes ferment. Next, you press the juice out of the grape pulp and ferment second time in plastic containers. Finally, you transfer the wine to Oak Barrels and age one year... so some time around Thanksgiving of next year we will have plenty of red wine to drink and give away, hopefully it tastes as good as it looks. Enjoy the pictures and the movie of cousin Henry pressing the wine. The befuddling thing is - why is Tom drinking a Mexican beer on wine day?
